Sometimes you get lucky and find something where someone has already done most of the hard work.

This delightful two-bedroom home is an unfinished project rather than a start-from-scratch renovation. Life circumstances changed before the current owner could quite get it over the finish line, leaving the next owner with the opportunity to step in, make use of everything already completed and finish things off to suit themselves. It even come with a heap of building materials and supplies to get you started.

The kitchen has already had a substantial upgrade and is very nearly finished, giving you a great head start on one of the biggest jobs in any renovation. From there, it is a matter of completing what has been started, adding your own personality and enjoying the satisfaction of making the final result yours.

The highset home has also been set up with practicality in mind. An easy-access ramp leads to the front veranda, and you can drive right through the double car gates and park at that same level, making everyday access much easier than you might expect from a highset home.

There is a sweetheart verandah where you can sit back and enjoy the lovely outlook, while the Colourbond and block work fencing surrounds most of the property will help keep any pets (or smaller children) from wandering too far afield.

At the heart of the home is a wood-burning stove, just waiting for those cooler Mount Morgan nights. Put the kettle on, warm your toes in front of the fire and enjoy that cooler mountain air that comes with being at this elevation. It is one of those features that help to turn a house into a proper home.

Outside, the beginnings of a wonderfully practical little garden lifestyle are already in place. Raised veggie gardens are established, along with a chook house for your resident egg layers. Even their water supply has been thought about, with rainwater reclamation set up to help keep the chooks well hydrated while making good use of what falls from the sky.

Despite how peaceful it is, you are far from isolated. A quick walk of less than 10 minutes will have you amongst Mount Morgan's shops, schools, hospital and other everyday amenities.

Yes, there is plenty of work left to do. It's not fully polished gemstone perfectly set in a ring. What it is, however, is a well-priced budget buy where a smart buyer who does not mind doing a little work can take advantage of what has already been completed instead of starting at square one.

With two bedrooms, one bathroom, an upgraded kitchen well on its way to completion, easy-access ramp, drive-up parking, verandah, wood-burning stove, raised gardens, established chook setup and plenty of personality, there is a lot here to work with.

Finish what has already been started, put your own stamp on the final touches and make this little sweetheart yours.
